What is jQuery?

jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers. With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript.

A Brief Look

DOM Traversal and Manipulation

Get the element with the class 'continue' and change its HTML to 'Next Step...'

1

$( "button.continue" ).html( "Next Step..." )

$( "#button-container button" ).on( "click", function( event ) {

Ajax

Call a local script on the server /api/getWeather with the query parameter zipcode=97201 and replace the element #weather-temp's html with the returned text.
